SCAN
You can monitor several channels in order to
receive any call that is transmitted on any of
these channels. Sixteen different channels can
be programmed into each scan list. Each
channel can share the same scan list or have
different scan lists assigned to them.
Once the radio’s scan operation is activated
and the radio detects a call coming through a
channel in its scan list, it switches to that
channel for you to receive the call.
